the governor will do this. Then he could
officially declare the result of the cleo

Wreck on the Santa Fe.

A special to the Denver News says:
Near Wagon Mound, n. NJ, bad wreck
occurred on the Santa Fe railroad. A
bridge over a ravine had burned out When
the passenger train arrived the engine went
down. The mail car went clear over the
engine. The mail, baggage and express
cars were wrecked. Ed. Bartholomew, the
express messenger, was seriously injured.
He was to-day brought up to his home in
Pueblo. Frank Clement, the postal clerk,
also of this city, cut his way through the
roof of the postal car barely in time to es-
cape being burned to death. The postal
car buried with large amount of mail, in
Guiding two packages of registered letters.
More mail matter has been burned in this
and the recent Denver & Rio Grande acci-
dent together than on this postal division
before in five years. The express car was
so badly wrecked that money and gold bars
were scattered all over the township.

him such strong and loyal attachment.
Ite could tell how it was that he loved Mr..
Beecher. 1t ~as because of his limpid sim
cerity, IFS noble mindedness, his love for all
men. his sincerit, for friends in trouble ,and
his many beautiful traits of personal Char
acter that were known to ana made their
dear departed brother loved and honorsd by
all the world.
The members of the family then retire d
to the other rooms and the undertaker's as
sistAnts carried the casket down the stairs
and to the hearse which stood in the rear Of
the Thirteenth Regiment.
while the services were in progress In the
house, Company G of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment was drawn up in front Of the house.
las soon as the guard of honor had taken
up its position around the hearse, the re gi
ment broke into columns of companies, with
arms reversed. The procession then moved
slowly down Clark street, and on arriving
at the church the casket was carried up the
Henry street aisle and placed on the dais in
front of the pulpit. The top of the casket
was then removed, especially to view the
face of the dead. The guard of honor took
up its position and then the regiment filed
into the church, marched up one aisle and
passed in front of the coffin and passing
out to the street.
AS the body was borne into the church
Beethovan's Burial March was played.
There will be music in the church during
the whole of the time that the body lays in
the church.
All the afternoon long line of people
was passing through the church to view the
ramains. 1t continued to increase, and the
rush was so great to gain admission that it
was found necessary to increase the force
of officers around the church door. The
throng was made up of almost all national
tiles, and as the day advanced the line of
people extended until i. reached Fulton
street, then down one side of the next
block and up the other with another wing
across the street. 1t was estimated that
nearly 10000 people passed before TIE cat
afalque during the day. There were so
many wreaths and bouquets left on the

The residents Of Princeton, Indiana,
and vicinity are much exercised over a
phenomenon which occurred there on Sun
day. A severe rain storm began before day
break, and when the citizens arose they
found the earth covered to the depth of an
inch with yellow substance. The doctors
and chemists have examined it, but they
vary in their conclusions. Nearly all agree,
however, that it is vegetable formation of
some kind.
The will of Henry Ward Beecher was
read Thursday afternoon in the presence of
the family. 1t is probable that it will not
be filed for probate, as one of its main pro
visions authorizes members of the family to
settle among themselves the division of
what there is left. The chief feature of it
is that Mrs. Beecher is first provided for.
The contents of it will not be known unless
the will is probated, as it is the wish of the
family that no publication of its contents
should be made.
The Signal Service is likely TO be sad
ly pinched by the failure of the General De-
ficiency appropriation bill. The most Sc
rious consequences of the failure of this bill,
perhaps, will be the discontinuance of storm
warnings and cold waves at a number OF
important points, owing to its failure. The
item appropriating $4,000 for telegraphing
and reporting these warnings is so nearly
exhausted that the sum now available for
| this purpose is small and heavy cut must
be made in the service at very early day.
William c. Hickman. originally OF
Philadelphia, but lately of Boston, has
joined the American Colony in Canada, af.
ter having, it is alleged, swindled number
of Boston capitalists out of between $50.
600 and $4,000. Hickman claimed to have
the formula for the manufacture of an arti.
Gle which he called sugarine out of common
starch. This sugarine was to take the place
of sugar to which it was equal in all re-
spects. According to Hickman's story the
sugarine could be made for II cents pei
pound and sold readily at 81 cents. Several
capitalists became interested and furnished
considerable sums of money which, it is
said, Hickman perverted to his own use
When he found he could no longer blind
fold his dupes he left the city for Montreal
where he now Is. Hickman is said to be
very well connected in Philadelphia.

INGALLS, VS. FACTS.

Senator John j. Ingalls, of Kan
sas, the free negro hater says in
his letter to President Cleveland
His, Matthews, confirmation is
opposed with substantial unanimi-
~ by the citizens of the District
without regard to color, politics or
occupation" Now as matter of
fact the documents made public by
order Of the Senate showed clear
ma iority of whites in his favor and
a unanimous expression from the
colored people of the District favo-
able to his confirmation; not one
single letter or document from a
colored resident of the District was
unearthed against him. If any col
ored man OF the District did oppose
Mr.. Matthews they did it assassin
like, in a cowardly and sneaking
manner quite in contrast with the
manly and open stand taken by
those who supported him. That
he, Matthews, was opposed by white
men without regard to politics We
do not question for we are full
aware that there al g son white re-
publicans just as bitter to the
square inch against the negro as
can be found any where in the dem
ocratic party.
